I tried to import a couple of recipes from BrewMonkey.com that were in beerxml format and BeerTools Pro refused to open them. The ones I tried were germanchoco.xml (a Bock) and Schwarzbieresque.xml (a dark lager). Any idea what the problem might be?

I assume there are plans to add a BeerXML export function, and maybe even an HTML Export function in the future. I'd like to be able to post recipes on my Dot Mac account, or other account.

I am not sure if one of the updates fixed it, but it is working great now. Many thanks if you did something (and even if you did not).

Have to say I love this program. It is so much fun to create something on the site and then seamlessly import it to the software.

I was telling James Spencer (Basicbrewing.com) about your software. He is also a mac user and might be interested in talking about the website and the software. You can contact him at "james at basicbrewing.com"

Hops is exporting, I'm guessing here, in % of the total weight of the recipe. Not in the amount (example: Amount 2 oz) The reason this is important to me is I have a brewday timer that I would be able to add an "Import hop Schedule from Beer Tools Pro" into it. To import the BTP xml. I'm sure others would also like the hops displayed in their oz/grams format instead of % of total weight of recipe.

I just came back to edit my post that it is displaying correctly. Its show the oz converted into kilos. Knowing this I can just convert them back into imperial weights. Unless of course you will have it export them like that in the future as an option.

BeerXML allows optional extensions for displaying values and I will try implement those in the future. Personally, I find the standard somewhat restrictive and feel that it could have been designed with greater flexibility in how values and units are specified. But hey, they didn't ask me did they
